Small DCs in geo-redundant locations, federated to Azure AD for the heavy-lifting would be a fraction of the cost, more reliable and more flexible.
I've seen a company do a VM for VM costing against Azure and it cost about 20% more on Azure. MS told them that as they are Enterprise licensed they don't have to pay the full price for the Windows VMs. And that was before they looked at a technology refresh once there.
IaaS should only be used where required, or as a stepping-stone. What's the point in managing, for example, a SQL server cluster when you can buy an Azure SQL PaaS?
